Fort Osage A+ Good Citizen Policy

Expectation: Fort Osage A+ participants are expected to be good citizens at school and in the community. 

1. At Fort Osage High School a good citizen: 

   • Maximizes his/her educational opportunity. 

   • Recognizes and accepts responsibility in and beyond the school environment. 

   • Sets a positive example for all to follow at school and in the community.

2. Fort Osage Good Citizen Guidelines:

   • All participants begin each school year with good citizen status.  Good citizen status equals zero (0) points. 

   • Each disciplinary referral that results in an in-school or out-of-school suspension takes away from good citizen status.  In-school suspension results in a three-point penalty for each day assigned. Out-of-school suspension results in a four-point penalty for each day assigned. 

   • The accumulation of twenty-one (21) points during any one school year will result in the revocation of the participant’s good citizen status and his/her removal from the program.

3. In accordance with the state A+ rules, involvement with illegal drugs and alcohol will result in immediate removal from the A+ program with no opportunity for reinstatement. 

4. Students may, for good cause, appeal their dismissal. In the Fort Osage School District, four levels of appeal are recognized: 

   • High School Principal

• Assistant Superintendent (Secondary)

• Superintendent of Schools

• Board of Education

Approved by the Board of Education: March 9, 1999
